This is a simple but really meaningful craft that you can do with your family. With Fathers' Day round the corner, you can surprise Daddy with these homemade magnets to display in his office or thank your kids' teachers on Teachers' Day. I like the fact that we are recycling jar lids into beautiful magnets, teaching kids the important environmental message of Reuse, Reduce and Recycle! It's also a craft where you can put all your selfie shots to good use and print directly from your … [Read more...]
